Query regarding cross-directory support

[Prasad Savadi]

Hi,

We are using the following tools :

automake (GNU automake) 1.7.2
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2 (1.922.2.54 2001/09/11 03:33:37)

Our directory structure is similar to the following :

Base-Directory
      |
      |-----> Utilities
      |
      |-----> Core
      |
      -
      -

The  Utilities/Makefile.am is as follows :

noinst_LIBRARIES = libutilities.a

libutilities_a_SOURCES = \
    utilitiywrapper.cc \
    utilitiymodifier.cc

The Core/Makefile.am is as follows :

sbin_PROGRAMS = corerunner

corerunner_SOURCES = \
    semwrapper.cc \
    schedulewrapper.cc \
    countwrapper.cc \
    asnconverter.cc

corerunner_LDADD = \
    $(top_builddir)/Utilities/libutilities.a


Our objective is to build corerunner from Base-Directory/Core.
But it gives the following error :

$HOME/Base-Directory/Core > make

make: *** No rule to make target `../Utilities/libutilities.a', needed by
`corerunner'.  Stop.


Can you suggest a solution to this problem ?
We would like to retain the same directory structure.

Regards,
PAshya  and  Bubba.
